PTFE HOSECONVOLUTED PTFE HOSETCR-272 HOSE ASSEMBLIESTCR-276 CONDUCTIVE ASSEMBLIESTCR-272 transfer hose is the most broadly applied convoluted PTFE hose; a general purpose work-horse found in hundreds of chemical transfer and industrial applications. Its present uses typicallyinclude water purification systems and food processing equipment.TCR-276 conductive transfer hose has the same general purpose usefulness as TCR-272, withspecial suitability where higher flow rates and the possibility of static charge accumulation areinvolved. Its conductive inner-core is an important provision in such applications as fuel handling.It has unusually high resistance to thermal cycling; therefore it is used extensively in tire presses,laundry presses, and other types of steam service, where on/o operating cycles cause widetemperature fluctuations inside the hose.CONSTRUCTIONThe inner-core of convoluted PTFE is externally reinforced POSITIVEwith PTFE impregnated fiberglass and type 304 stainless BRAID LOCKsteel wire braid. TCR-276 hose has precisely controlledamounts of carbon black added to the inner 15% of thePTFE inner-core. This homogeneous material providesa continuous conductive path to the metal end fittings,Temperature Range:-65°F to 400°F (-54°C to 204°C)Standards:Accepted by U.S. Coast Guard.TCR 272 and TCR-276 Hose Specifications:HOSE PART NSOIZMEININA.L NOIDMIINN.AL NOODMIINNA.
